A Child's Prayer- Nadira Ali & Rashid Bhikha
I sometimes lie awake at night
And wonder at the stars so bright
I dream about my future too
And the things that I will do
Soon the world will count on me
I’m the future they agree
People depend on me somehow
Though small and timid I am now
So you and I my dearest friend
Must stand together till the end
For we are one by Allah’s grace
No matter what our colour or race
We must prepare ourselves today
While we journey on life’s way
So much there is to learn and see
For true believers we must be
Go forward young Muslims, wherever you are
In the shadow of the sun or by a light of a star
Your Supreme Protector is Almighty Allah
Go forward young Muslims, wherever you are
Go forward young Muslims, we feel your pain
So many places, Palestine
People are dying, mothers are crying
Bombs are falling from the sky, people asking why
The only thing that we can do is pray to God to help them through
But do they realize that Allah hates those who kill and despise?
I think that’s no surprise
We must rise up
Come on young Muslims
Gotta rise up
Come on young Muslims
Together we must stand in the Masjid to pray
Pray for a better day, a better way
To make this world a better place
Coz lets face it, it’s out of control
We need to grab hold of each other
Unite as one Ummah
Like back in the days of the companions of the Prophet
Some were young, they were strong and they loved each other
Brothers and sisters, and they could die for one another
So stand up young Muslims, say it out loud
It’s time to be counted, right here, right now
Right here, come on, right now
Oh Allah, we love You so
Give us health and make us grow
Be with us each passing day
While we journey on life’s way
Allah will bring you
To help us through
We gotta rise up ( x3 )
Come on young Muslims
We must pray
Pray for a better day
A better way
To make this world a better place
It's out of control
We need to grab hold
Unite as one Ummah
Come on young Muslims
Gotta rise up
Oh Allah, we love You so
Give us health and make us grow
Be with us each passing day
While we journey on life’s way
(Repeat) ( x2 )
Coz if love is in our hearts
No-one can tear us apart
I sometimes lie awake at night
And wonder at the stars so bright
I dream about my future too
And the things that I will do
Soon the world will count on me
I’m the future they agree
